Microsoft, fix IE6 to link to PDF files correctly!

[Martin Wulfe]

How many messages have to be posted before MS listens to them? IE6
will not allow you to include a bookmark or page number in a PDF file
reference when using the FILE protocol (even with SP1):

file://c:\myfiles\mypdf.pdf#Page=2

but it works under HTTP:

http://www.myserver.com/mypdf.pdf#Page=2

How about it???

As usual, Microsoft is either deaf or intentionally ignorant. SP1
does NOTHING to solve this problem, as indicated in the article.
Their workaround is to use HTTP instead of FILE protocol, but try
using HTTP to open a PDF file on a local drive such as a CD. It
doesn't work.
